CIS-Lunar Econosphere GUIDELINESIt’s 2050.Space resources are recognized as a significant economic force.Space tourism is thriving.Multinational companies are prospecting and mining on the moon and on asteroids.Commercial lunar outposts are under construction.Energy is plentiful and economical2050 Cis-Lunar SPACE UTILIZATIONCommercial, government, and international endeavors and partnerships will drive the cis-lunar econosphere via a hybrid collaborative and competitive free-enterprise system.

TransportationAccess to space will be provided by a thriving commercial entity and will include advanced chemical, electric, nuclear, solar electric, and electrodynamic propulsion.

HealthAdvances in radiation mitigation, bone loss countermeasures, and advanced habitation & life support will enable humans to thrive in space.

EnergyThe energy resources to power the economy will be carbon-neutral, space-based solar, operated by commercial multi-national corporations.

AI/RoboticsAdvanced modeling and simulation capabilities will allow for full simulation prior to build by robotic assembly.Resource prospecting as well as exploration will be highly autonomous with limited human involvement.

ManufacturingISRU-based, additive manufacturing will be highly dependent on AI and robotics.
